Noni made this super cool lion-cake and Papa ordered a yummy custard/strawberry cake too :-)

I fell in love with it from the very first lick of frosting.... I'm having a really hard time falling asleep tonight - is this what you call a "sugar high"?

I got lots of great clothes, BUT....this one was my favorite by far! What do you think.... do you like it? (click on the picture to enlarge and take a closer look!!!!!!!!!!!)

Learning the drills

Daddy started teaching me all of the positions:

-center-

-quarterback-

-running back-

I'm also learning all the possibilities of play with Bridger....she likes to play catch and is really really good at catching the frisbee.

First days of spring

I have been learning how to walk outside on this green, uneven stuff....

Helping daddy and Noni plant some dirt....

And watch the pretty flowers come up out of the ground....

Early birthday bash

This weekend we went up North to visit our friends before they move.

We had a birthday celebration for Jackson and I. My first cake and ice cream treat!

We played with lots of toys all weekend and went to a fun cheese factory. I'm really really really going to miss them when they move far, far away.

play dates

Last week we had lots of play dates. My auntie and uncle's doggie, Hailey came to visit us and play with Bridger. Hailey's tail packs a little bigger punch than Bridger's, but she was such a good girl - can she come again, auntie?






















I also got to have a friend come over to play... we played outside for the first time this "spring".....
and then went back inside (to warm up)... thanks for coming to play!

Cali trip

It was half my lifetime ago that I felt the way the warmth of sunshine.... until this vacation to visit our friends in California.

We ate outside, went to a park (first swing ride, ever :-) and event went
digging for gold.

My friend also turned 6 years old and lost his first tooth - so much excitement
for one weekend. I will go back there anytime - thanks friends!

Frosty the Snowman....

I'm getting to like this bundling up stuff, because I know I get to go outside again and play in the snow. I don't know what Papa's talking about....this white stuff is awesome! If shoveling is anything like building a snow man, sign me up! :-)
We built a big snowman.....but, I know
Brandon, we couldn't find a button nose, so it's just one of Frosty's friends...
It was a little windy, so we did it in record time.
It's twice the size of me!!! 

the anticipation is killing me!

Today I woke up to a blanket of white stuff on the ground...it was everywhere!
Bridger and daddy went outside to "work" (looked more like play to me)
and I couldn't wait to get out there...
Mommy made sure I was all bundled and warm....oh - this is going to be fun!!!1 

My first tasting....

A blanket of snow..... why do they call it a blanket? It's not very warm! Today was my first day ever that I got to go outside and play in the snow.
Bridger introduced me to the good stuff - hmmmm.....doesn't taste like much.
But still very intriguing! 

New friends...fun times

This week I got to meet some new friends....I had heard lots about them but now I finally got to meet them. I wish they lived closer, because I know we could have a lot of fun together. I wish I hadn't spent the first few hours shy.
Then mommy took me outside where the sun was shining and melting the snow and we played and watched Bridger run around with our neighbor dogs...
